Employees spending too much time hunting for paper and electronic documents

Misplaced or lost documents

Duplicate work

Some employees being swamped with work, while others stand idle

Busy decision makers causing process bottlenecks because they are needed for review and approvals but are regularly unavailable

Employees choosing what to work on instead of working on what is needed and time-sensitive

The Answer to Your Process Problems: Workflow Automation

Requordit construction ECM software automatically routes documents to be processed to the appropriate employee. When they're done with their work, the document is then automatically routed to the next for further processing, review and approval. If they do not finish their work in a timely manner, their supervisor is alerted to the issue.

The resulting one click project close-outs and employee efficiency gains are often dramatic, especially for entry level employees who spend more time on the tasks best suited for their experience level and not on low-value tasks like document search and retrieval.

Start in One Department

While workflow automation software can have powerful effects on a construction firm at the enterprise level, it's often better to start small at the department level to see some immediate benefit that can then justify looking at other areas of your construction business.
